Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, often humorously referred to as âthe manual for the clubbable man,â belongs to a body of work that was instrumental in the resurgence of the English essay during the 18th century. Originally written by the author as two separate pamphlets that discussed the economy of England, the final version has become part of literary history, from its initial publication in 1711 to the celebrated and enjoyable reprint, illustrated by John Thurston and published in 1817 with a preface by S. W. Singer. Within the dialogue, the author espouses his belief in the basic decency of mankind when not misled by "vices and follies" and gives his reader insights to avoid these follies and their consequences. Throughout the text, a series of characters are discussed, including the antiquary, critic, detractor, gamester, imposter, and many others, all types recognisable to any reader of literature or observer of humanity. The book's thematic depth is based on the central idea that man, though flawed, should live a balanced, temperate life, freely questioning authority and avoiding extremes.
